The Rhinelander High School varsity girls softball team could only generate one run Friday when the Hodags lost a non-conference contest at Wausau West, 5-1.

“We came out flat for the first five innings,” said RHS head coach D.J. DeMeyer. “Steph Kuester pitched good.”

The game was the first the Hodags since senior pitcher Ali Schickert was sidelined Tuesday after sustaining a knee injury.

At the plate for RHS, Mikayla Evenstad tallied two hits.

The Hodags’ season record stands and 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the Great Northern Conference going into Monday afternoon’s home conference game against Northland Pines. RHS also has a home conference game Tuesday against Tomahawk.
